Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Pete Townshend remain the most important guitarists in Rock music. All developments since can largely be sourced to their individual or collective fountainhead. Others have some claim to membership of this group but in the light of serious analysis they don't quite reach that peak of originality. Ironically the least technically accomplished of the four, Pete, has the greatest obvious influence today - the chording lead rather then single note and with the whole spectrum of songwriting and rhythm guitarists, acoustic and electric. And of course his amp volume/pyrotechnics and guitar whacking which were components integrated into the other three especially Hendrix.
Townshends' influence is the greatest or most inclusive. However, by comparison, the influence of Clapton and Hendrix have, by far, cultivated and literally defined the very foundation, form and role of modern blues rock guitar playing/soloing.

Just some food for thought. Some very interesting notes in this link.

Eric Clapton would tell you himself that Hendrix was far and away more creative and skillful. Hendrix is the GOAT when it comes to electrified rock/blues guitar playing. Top guitarist of all time? That's a bit broader argument..
